The band was a combination of melodic rock, hard rock and jazz rock. The band featured Divljan (guitar, vocals), Zdenko Kolar (bass), Dragan Mitrić (keyboards), Kokan Popović (drums) and Bora Atić (saxophone). The first serious band Divljan formed after graduation, in 1976 called Merlin soon renamed to Zvuk Ulice (Sound Of The Street). They held a free gig at the Dadov's upper floor. The three had rehearsals there for about ten years. The rehearsals were held at the boiler-room in their building. In order to have rehearsals the three would skip school. Both Divljan and Kolar attended guitar course at the RU "Braća Stamenković" held by professor Branko Perišić who later appeared in the "Sve laži sveta" video. Since there was a popular band from Koper named Faraoni, the band was renamed to Holipe. The band was called Faraoni (Pharaohs) since Divljan had a necklace from Egypt, given by his grandmother, with a Tutankhamun medallion. Later he got a guitar, Kolar bought a bass and Boža Jovanović used a tin barrel as a drum with metal sticks made by Kolar's father. The first instrument Divljan played was a small mandolin because he was a fan of Dubrovački Trubaduri. After coming back to Belgrade he asked Zdenko Kolar and Boža Jovanović, two of his friends and neighbors, to form a band.
